I started 3 days ago. My M.O. is to open the file drawer and start picking out folders (there are 50–60 now) to work on.
I pick them out randomly and start doing layout — with scissors and removable scotch tape. No stinkin’ computers at this stage.
I print out the text in 3 and 4 columns, adjust photos to desired size on copy machine, and do rough layouts.
This is turning out to be really fun. We’ve accumulated material for maybe a year and now, the book is starting to assemble itself, in random manner. Organizing will come later.
Note: Contact us if you know of small homes (400–1200 sq. ft.) that would work in this book: smallhomes@shelterpub.com
We are especially interested in any kind of homes in cities and towns.
